Way to speak the truth on this Kearly. A dominant team team should be able to win 10+ easily every year. Not go from 7-8-1 to 15-1. What this reminds of is the Seattle team led by Holmgrem. Holmgrem was always a great specialist at offense just as Rivera always has been with defense. Everything just came together for them this season. Teams such as Pittsburgh and NE and now even US, we have this system in place that finely tunes our athletes.
Which bring to me this. Will the Panthers be able to handle the adversity we have had? I mean, we've had a shit ton of it after our SuperBowl win.
With the way their guys go about flash so much. Which I don't mind at all, each to his own. If that's their swag, so be it! Enjoy the ride! I won't hate. However, if they end up winning that bowl, they will be celebs at a different level. Just like how our guys went from a bunch of "Undersized, overlooked nobodies" to becoming household names and all the fame and glory. It sure affected our defensive locker room. Even Earl Thomas pointed it out earlier in the season. That when they start telling you what kind of star you are, how entitled everyone starts to feel. Will the Panthers be able to handle that part??
